Loch Ness
Loch Ness stretches over 23 miles through the Scottish Highlands, holding more freshwater than all the lakes in England and Wales combined. Best known for its elusive resident, the so-called Loch Ness Monster, the loch has sparked international curiosity since the first modern "sighting" in 1933. While Nessie remains elusive, the surrounding landscape offers clear reasons to visit with steep hillsides, forested trails, and ancient ruins framing one of Scotland’s most iconic bodies of water.
Majete Wildlife Reserve

Brasília
Brasília may be a World Heritage Site, but it is only of interest to town planning and architecture students, and those keen to witness the folly of man on a metropolitan scale. It must have looked good on paper, and still looks good in photos, but in the flesh, forget it. Designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer, urban planner Lucio Costa, and landscape architect Burle Marx, the city was built in an incredible three years between 1957 and 1960.
Hvar
Hvar is a resort town and island off the coast of Croatia. A tourist destination with spectacular views of the Adriatic Sea, Hvar is popular for its beaches and is a favorite port for yacht cruises.
Fishguard
Fishguard, a coastal town in north Pembrokeshire, is divided into two parts: Fishguard and Lower Town. Lower Town is a small harbor nestled at the mouth of the River Gwaun, lined with fishing cottages and boats. It has served as a filming location for several productions, including the 1956 movie *Moby Dick* starring Gregory Peck. Visitors can walk the quayside, explore rock pools at low tide, or take boat trips along the Pembrokeshire Coast.
